Kki-ri-ri! A grotesque sound appeared on the quiet road.

Kki-ri-ri! It was the sound of wheels made especially to move a huge mass of metal, tank treads moving in an infinite orbit.

'It gives me goosebumps.' Was the sound of a tank so scary?

It was a horrifying sound. It was not scary simply because it was an unfamiliar sound.

The tank, which was the result and cause of war, was a perfect weapon that no longer needed improvement. It was a weapon that excelled in driving human beings to feel fear and death.

If they did not shiver when they heard the sound, they would be a monster, not a human being.

Kki-rik! Soon the tank stopped, and the road became quiet.

But there were no people who could keep their composure in the silence. As if to surround the tanks, the riflemen that moved along the tanks swallowed their saliva, more nervous than when the tanks made the terrifying sound ”Kki-ri-rik”.

Bang! At that moment the tank's barrel blew out thunder.

Kim Yu-ri, who came down from the building at once, immediately started running toward the Ganseok Ogeori. The road she ran along was not a place where she was allowed to run. All sorts of obstacles, including cars, were filling the road.

”Whew!” But she started to run without wavering. Her movements were amazing.

Swish! She vaulted a small car in one jump.

Thud! She stepped on the van to pass.

Slip! In the case of a truck, she slid under the gap seen below the wheels without slowing.

”What, what?” ”Something is coming!”

At her cat-like movements, the watchers, who had been placed throughout the buildings, were surprised. They were so surprised that they forgot their roles for a while.

”Alert! Alert!” ”Swing the flag! Swing the red flag!”

Those who were late in their roles pushed the flags out of the buildings. A red T-shirt hung on a flagpole formerly used to display a Korean flag, a red devil T-shirt that filled Korea in 2002 fluttered.

”The flag?” The fluttering flag came into the view of those who were on the overpass of Ganseok Ogeori.

”Red Alert!” The complexions of those at the overpass had paled.

One of them immediately raised the loudspeaker and shouted, ”Evacuate! Evacuate!”

Other people were shouting out, ”Get into the station! Everybody, evacuate into the station!” they fiercely shouted with pale faces. They were very desperate.

”Take care of the kids!” ”Get into the building!”

The most desperate were those who were close to the children. Those carrying the children who started to cry began to run with their teeth clenched tightly. The children who could not find someone to carry them fell on the ground while running away.

It was total chaos. And that was what Kim Yu-ri was aiming for. The situation was urgent to explain, so she tried to warn the survivors of Ganseok Ogeori to evacuate.

There was one warning she should do in the voice. ”The tanks are coming! Watch out for the shells!”

She shouted at the overpass with all her might. Because she was a soldier, she knew very well that if she was a tank driver, the best target for destroying the survivors' territory at this moment was.

”Get down from the overpass!”

Bang! At that moment, a clap of thunder went over the overpass. No one responded to the sound of the flash.

The response came after a shell passed over the overpass to hit a building behind it. ”Aahhhh!” ”Shell, it's a shell!”

Screams that only the crazed could spit out began to burst out everywhere.

Bang! At the same time, a building that was hit by the shells began to collapse as if it was spitting blood.

Bang! The tank threw up another shell.

Bang! The second shell bursting before the confusion spread made another building start to collapse.

”Aahhhh!”

At that moment, none of the survivors of Ganseok Ogeori were able to make rational, reasonable judgments.

'Damn it!' On the other hand, Kim Yu-ri could be rational at this moment.

She had seen it a lot, because of her experience. It was due to numerous encounters with the sights in Seoul, and she knew what would happen when the tanks spit out a shell between the forest of buildings.

Of course, she also knew what the survivors of this chaotic place would choose. The humans who survived at this moment were selfish animals that only take care of their own lives. The ones who would die first in that selfishness… children.

”Aahhhh!”

”Mummy! Mummy!”

That's why it was hard to find young children when monsters had swept past. Even worse, it was hard to find the dead bodies of such children. The soft bodies of the dead children were the first meat that the monsters ate.

Kim Yu-ri grit her teeth tight.

'Select.'

The situation was urgent. Tanks began to vomit shells, survivors were scrambling to survive by running into the station and the building, and the shelled buildings were beginning to collapse.

Of course, it was not easy to take care of her life. So, in this situation, she always took care of her life. It wasn't because she wanted to.

Her life did not exist to save a child, but rather to carry out a special mission, so she couldn't take the risk. It was a directive and an order to her. The guidelines and orders were not different now. Naturally, at ordinary times, she would have moved to save her life.

But at this moment she was concerned about the image of Kim Tae-hoon who had moved to save the lives of the children. And her anxiety ended earlier than expected. 'He's right.'

His actions had always produced good results, but the only outcome that she had from following guidelines and orders had been disastrous.

The results proved who was right. She didn't hesitate when she thought to that point. She became a black leopard once again and began running towards the crying children.

Bang! Bang! At that moment a third and fourth cannon shot was heard.

Aahhhh! At the same time, screams began to rise in the direction of the gunfire.

Around the K1A1 tank that was stationed on the road were plunderers armed with guns. It was not a strange sight.

Tanks were deadly weapons, but not omnipotent. There were weapons that could threaten tanks. For example, an anti-tank rocket poking its head toward the side of a tank was enough to threaten it.

It was no wonder that riflemen were guarding the area of the tank, to remove such elements.

Kwarrng! It was natural that the ears of the riflemen deployed for escort duty would become deaf as soon as the tank fired.

”Why did we use this good thing now, damn it… if we had used this earlier, we would never have fought with those guys over there. Don't you think?”

And it was also natural for an assassin to use the gap created by the roar.

”Huh?” Between the building and the building next to the tank, a rifleman who was guarding the area turned to hear the answer to his question. At that moment, what he saw was a strangely bent figure of a fellow who falling down and a black fist flying toward his face. Bam!

The black fists drowned the face of the man wearing a bulletproof hat.

”Khuck!” This short word was all that was left of him.

Kim Tae-hoon, after killing two people at once, mentally grabbed the guns that they had held. After catching the guns that came up into his grasp, he pulled the triggers with the guns pointing at the sky.

Tutututu! The unhindered gunfire took over the place which the shell's roar had passed.
